​J.P. Linde’s love of storytelling began unexpectedly in the sixth grade, when he convinced his male classmates that Elizabeth Montgomery — yes, the star of Bewitched — was his girlfriend. From that moment on, he’s been spinning stories people actually believe.
He’s performed in summer-stock productions of Our Town, Hot L Baltimore, and The Misanthrope — and, to everyone’s relief, managed to avoid appearing nude in Hair. One of the founding members of Portland, Oregon’s comedy scene, J.P. created the sketch and improv group No Prisoners and later took the stage with his one-person show, Casually Insane. He went on to perform stand-up professionally, making his national television debut on Showtime’s Comedy Club Network.
His original musical, Wild Space A Go Go, premiered in Portland at The Embers in 2011. Since then, he’s written five novels, including his latest, The Last Argonaut, coming soon from Reese Unlimited. On the screen side, he co-wrote the horror cult classic Axe to Grind and has collaborated with some of the top producers in film and television.

Coming just in time for Halloween:

The Last Argonaut
by
J,P. Linde

​​When Nazi occultists awaken the vengeful spirit of Medea in their hunt for the Golden Fleece, the battle for world domination leaps from ancient tombs to wartime America. Standing in their way is The Peregrine—Atlanta’s masked avenger—and his daring wife, Evelyn. Together they’ll face dark magic, mystic assassins, and a prophecy written in blood. From the mean  streets of Atlanta to deep below Mount Olympus, The Last Argonaut hurtles through myth and history toward an explosive showdown between gods, monsters, and men—and the one hero destined to stand against them all.

"Not only is J.P. Linde's FOOL's GOLD a barn burner of a snow western adventure tale, it's also a love story. Linde clearly loves his genre, loves creating within it and loves to keep his readers on the edge of their seat."    Richard Melo (Author of Happy Talk and Jokerman 8).

Beware the Ides of January

1/9/2021

​We interrupt regularly scheduled programming this week for this special BEWARE THE IDES OF JANUARY episode. Let’s start with the facts, shall we.
 
The President invited his “followers” to Washington DC, promising all a “wild protest.”
After addressing his followers on Jan 6, 2020. The so-called wild protest turns into a seditious mob, threatening to kill Vice President Mike Pence and storms the capital building. Seems like someone left the barn door open and with little trouble they walk on in. Some of these asshats are even armed with weapons, some carry zip-ties while pipe bombs are left outside. Later, commentators on Fox News declare that members of Antifa have infiltrated this mob which is absolutely false. Protestors clearly declare to anyone with a camera and a mic who they are and what they are doing.
 
Meanwhile back at the White House, Trump and his criminal family watch, laugh and tweet as thugs ransack the national seat of power. Music plays and everyone seems to be having a grand time. After holding back support for the beleaguered capital, the National Guard finally arrives and the protestors are beat back where there are almost no arrests until the following day.
 
Trump is subsequently banned from Twitter and promises to work for a peaceful transition of power. However, he will not be attending the inauguration.
 
Why the recap? Because my fear is this is not over. This mob has promised that this is not over and that they will return with even greater numbers. They have threatened the prospect of a peaceful transition of power as well as state and local governments. 
 
From CNN:
 
“John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the Citizen Lab -- a group at the University of Toronto that monitors cybersecurity -- said he is "terribly concerned" about the inauguration.
"While the broader public was aghast at what happened (Wednesday) at the Capitol, in certain corners of the sort of right wing conversation, what happened ... is viewed as a success," he told CNN.”
 
I firmly believe that the FBI and all other law enforcement agencies are monitoring the chatter of these terrorists. Oh, wait, the Justice Department and The Department of Homeland Security are still under the control of the White House.
 
Now what?
 
Please contact your representatives and let them know that you are concerned about the safety of the inauguration and of our republic. Fully protect the Nation’s Capital and fully check anyone in and out in the next few weeks. Send the local National Guard to our State Capitals. Armed protestors must be arrested on sight. Fuck their 2nd amendment rights. They walk on state government property, they get arrested and thrown in jail for inciting violence.
 
Enough is enough! For the past for years, America’s doors have been open and we have been infiltrated by traitors an it is time to slam it in their face.

I was in Richland WA just after the Oklahoma City bombing. Hanford is a few miles away and there is a federal building in town. Concrete barriers had been put in place to prevent vehicles from getting close and armed soldiers were standing by. This needs to be treated the same.
